The Unidad Militar de Emergencias (UME) reports that the forest fire burning between the provinces of Ávila and Madrid is now contained, though officials note that some active fronts remain. Overnight efforts were primarily focused on protecting municipalities that had been evacuated on Saturday. While the situation remains active, the NASA station located in Robledo de Chavela, Madrid, has confirmed that its antennas and buildings sustained no significant structural damage from the blaze.
Beyond this specific incident, wildfires across Spain have caused widespread disruption, resulting in the closure of 33 roads across six provinces. The highest impact is currently reported in Toledo with 11 road closures, followed by Ávila with 10 and Madrid with seven. Meanwhile, emergency services in other regions continue to manage separate incidents, including the successful overnight extinguishment of a forest fire in Villablanca, Huelva.
